Salem Highschool Drumline Practice

[camcorder13]

i mean not that its stupid because every band no matter if its brass or drums marks time. its a legitimate way to keep track of tempo just tone it down a little

[camcorder13]

has anyone ever showed you how to mark time WITHOUT moving your drums..not only does it look bad but it makes for a bad sound..you should only lift you feet about an 1/8 of an inch

[Micool12]

@camcorder13 Yes Sir, we were shown how to mark time without moving our drums and how to mark time lifting our feet only 1/8 of an inch. In fact, the years prior to the year in this video, we utilized those techniques. Our band marked time like this because it allowed us to play comfortably and expressively and allowed us to vibe off of each other for a sense of timing, emotion, and unity. It was our style that was unique to us. I know people think it looks stupid but it worked for us.

[dareisaya]

You might want to think about moving your pit so they can look straight at the battery. Are you a WGI line perchance?

[Micool12]

thanks for the advice. well we are marching band line and this video was taken really early that season but we did in improve very much more as the season progressed.

[sclendenin]

So when ever in the show does the pit look straight at the battery? The pit listens back, correct? Not watches back??

[dareisaya]

Last year, we were did the WGI circuit, and they require that your pit and battery look in the same direction: the direction of the judges. Also, the pit can use the battery as reference if they need a cue.

[dareisaya]

Cross out were, haha.

[sclendenin]

This is not a rehearsal for indoor drumline. It's a rehearsal for their field show.

[dareisaya]

Oh. Well that's different.

[gbpdrum45]

theyre better than our drumline mainly cuz all the seniors are lazy asses and dont wanna do nothin, well be better next year-that room is kind of cramped huh?

[oddblacksheepx]

Woah, I saw this video and was weirded out since my high school band has played in that room before. I knew it looked familier and turns out it's the same salem we went to.
